Field counts – at least 215 fields

Record counts: Devices – 994,354

Lines – 1,113,309

Structure Network – 565,421

Remember: Fewer tables, relates, and joins

Versioning directly in the tables

Utility Network - Likes

The ease of inter-relating multiple voltage levels –Tiers

Structures are network aware

Combination of geo-coincident and associated connectivity

Not having to rebuild network for schema changes

Utility Network - Concerns

Creating features is tedious

Lack of visual connectivity for associations

Tracing is very click intensive

Answering the concerns

Focus on the user

• All-in-one toolbar

Increase productivity

• 'One-click Trace' tools

• 'Association Tools' that allow visualizing and managing

associations

Associations: 3-phase Xfmr
